In 1978, the inhabitants of a small village in Iran called Zalava claim there is a demon among them. Massoud, a young gendarmerie sergeant, who investigates this claim encounters an exorcist attempting to rid the village of the demon. When he arrests the exorcist on charges of fraud, the villagers fear and anger escalates. Massoud and his love interest, a government doctor, soon find themselves trapped in a cursed house, surrounded by villagers who believe they are both possessed by the demon.
Di sala 1978an de, şêniyên gundekî biçûk bi navê Zalava li welatê Îranê dibêjin ku ehrîmen di nav wan de ye. Mesûd efserekî ciwan e ku lêkolîn li ser van gotegotan dike, rûbirûyê medyûmek dibe ku hewl dide gund ji cinan xilas bike. Gava ew bi gumana sextekariyê medyûm digre, tirs û hêrsa gundiyan zêde dibe. Mesûd û hezkiriya wî ku bijîşikeke hikumetê ye, xwe di nava xaniyekî de êsîr dibînin, ew ji hêla gundiyan ve hatine dorpêç kirin û gundî wisa bawer dikin ku ehrîmen ew bidest xistine.
